funding question

[Katerina King]

Depends what area of Russian Studies your student is interested in, 
Humanities or Social Sciences? MA or PhD? Your student should, of 
course, apply for financial aid from the institution to which she is 
applying for admission. There are quite a few opportunities for African 
American students seeking graduate degrees, but your student will have 
to sift through them based on her own profile (age, degree sought, place 
of residence, field of study, career plans, etc.) You should direct her 
to http://www.uncf.org/ as a place to start. Another good resource is 
Financial Aid for African Americans by Gail Ann Schlachter and David 
Weber (Reference Service Press). Then, of course, there are various 
field-specific opportunities open to people of any ethnicity. I may be 
able to offer additional ideas if you tell me more about your student; 
feel free to contact me off list.
All the best,

Katya King
